Northwestern University Law Review has partnered with top journals at six other law schools to launch The Legal Workshop, a new website that provides a single forum for cutting-edge scholarship from America’s leading law journals. The site will regularly post condensed versions of law journal articles, which readers may comment on. The goal of this site is to create an engaging, collegial exchange. Partner law journals include those from the University of Chicago, Cornell University, Duke University, Georgetown University, New York University and Stanford University.
Members from the classes of 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, and 2004 return to campus for Reunion Weekend on Oct. 2 and 3.
